Nano-Delivering Plant Biostimulants and Anti-Pathogenic Agents

Nano-Delivering Plant Biostimulants and Anti-Pathogenic Agents examines the role of nanotechnology in strengthening plant disease resilience. The book examines the development and application of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in plant protection, emphasizing their capacity to boost plant immunity and target specific pathogens. It also covers the latest breakthroughs in nanoparticle synthesis, characterization, and mechanisms of action in plant-pathogen interactions.The text further explores the integration of nanoparticles with biostimulants, including plant growth regulators (PGRs) and growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs), as well as the emerging use of nanobiofertilizers. It emphasizes how these advanced nanodelivery systems can optimize the efficiency of plant disease management strategies, including pest control and antimicrobial delivery.Finally, the volume addresses key topics such as the use of silver, metalloid, and carbon nanomaterials for disease prevention and plant protection. It also delves into the regulatory and ethical considerations surrounding nano-agrobiotechnology, offering critical insights into its safe and sustainable application. This book serves as an essential resource for those exploring innovative, nanotechnology-driven solutions in agriculture. - Focuses on cross-disciplinary innovation, combining materials science, molecular biology, and agronomy to develop next-generation tools for plant resilience- Analyzes in-depth nano-enabled gene technologies, including the delivery of regulatory RNAs and genome-editing components to enhance plant defense at the molecular level- Evaluates environmental compatibility, exploring how nano-agro inputs interact with ecosystems, soil microbiomes, and non-target organisms
